Thank you

We may need to look at how any of the items dealing with mental health holds would be impacted by pending legislation.

There are policies on the Idaho exchange that specifically exclude MH coverage.

I have to step out for just a moment.

I have a conflicting 2 PM meeting, sorry.

Very interesting, Dr. Fox!

I will have to jump off at 3:30pm for another meeting. FYI

apologies- some of our action items that are labeled treatment are actually infrastructure.

Reminder ofSMART GOALSS - SpecificM - MeasurableA - AchievableR - RelevantT - Time-bound

Mental Health parity / payment seems important to increasing the number of professionals in Idaho. If fees are a barrier to practice, not being paid is a bigger barrier to practice.

Toni, I think you'll see that provider reimbursement topic in Infrastructure #3

If we are looking for specific, the word provider is vague. It is not clear if we mean therapist, psychiatrists, peer support, etc

What Adrian said is what I am thinking

Will anything need legislative approval?

So many needed services in the Behavioral Health area don't have an official CPT code - go unpaid. Or they are not paid at parity with physical medicine.

. . . practices to provide competitive and fair reimbursement rates and processes that increases value-based services . .

Janice - I see you just types the same thing I just said. Great minds think alike.

Is MH parity a separate recommendation?

Are we really talking about reimbursable codes and reimbursement rates?

instead of enforce, what if we used the word "address"?

I apologize but I have to step out early due to my court schedule today.

Implement is a good choice. Softer, but direct.

i am stepping out now. Great working with everyone!

To my knowledge, Telehealth is software. Like Bandaid vs adhesive strip. Virtual care or something might be better.

As soon as insurance no longer covers virtual services, providers won't offer them. At least that is what my provider is saying.

I agree. The terminology has been moving toward virtual care rather than tele...

Sorry, I have to step away for another meeting.

If you look at the telehealth council reccomendations, I think they had something very similar. You might be able to use some of their language as a model. It would be good to have some consistency there.

hi Folks,

I agree with Dr B

yes....

sounds good to me

Identify a method for sharing critical data across agencies to facilitate care coordination.

Later change #5 to care coordination instead of we would like . . .

:)

We’re making great progress. I apologize but I have to jump off as I have a phone appointment in a couple minutes for an upcoming hearing.

Yes and 3 years because it will require legislation as well

thumbs up

Yes

agreed

in communities

Yes

This is the general population of Idaho

1 year

There seems to be a disconnect between the stated recommendation and the action items

It seems like a subgroup could be a good use of resources and time.

Sounds like Friday and Monday for subgroup meetings.

The 20th meeting is 3 to 5. Should it be 1 to 5? Can that be done?

I can join at 2

thanks all
